New for February 2023

It feels like whenever we have the start of a new year I wonder where the last one went. The past few months have gone quickly, with very few moments of quietness. Some craziness, some grieving, laughter and tears, all sorts of fellowship with family and friends, and all of it to be considered good. Lila continues to grow into the huge feet that she had, and has been taking over everything she can reach. There is nothing she considers to be off limits and no noise we can make that will deter her from getting into something. 

Doodlebug is working hard with her piano career and keeping me driving here and there. She has her license, now, (accckkk!!!) and is starting to do more trips on her own. I don't know how I'm going to handle it when she eventually leaves home - so I'm trying to be more focused on enjoying the next few years.

Now, on to all things stitchy! I have four new releases and three new thread keep and minders. They're all adorable.

It Is Well

That is the MBT world, in a nutshell! The yard is starting to grow, the garden is calling, the trees need pruning, and the sun needs to be enjoyed (only until June, when Texas gets hot and really humid). I have a few new projects already in progress and look forward to the moments of x's. Hugs to all.

She is adorable, no I am not fooled. My youngest fur baby is about a year and half. She too is adorable, stubborn and pretty much does what she wants most of the time. I hope you are happy at your new place. crzycatlady

Lila is adorable. What beautiful new designs and accessories, Debbie! I bet you can guess which is my favorite new design. I also can't believe your Doodlebug is old enough to drive. Now, I feel ancient!
